New vinyl on all the seats and armrests
New dash (repainted)
New Steering wheel
Painted shift plate, shifters and all cleats and handles inside and out
New Vinyl wrap on the back, along with Sea Doo Lettering
New Graphics on the side
New Solas Jet pumps
Hyroturf
Trailer tires
Complete paint restoration detail

Still to do:

Stereo

Heck ya! I put a ton of work into it. No one else realizes how hard it is to get parts.

I think that the feeling of accomplishment and knowing you did the work yourself is the best part (plus all the fun you can have with it).
I need to get my boat on the water. Hopefully this weekend after I replace the bent driveshaft.

It's kind of addicting. I have big plans for the winter. Including replacing the rub rail, Bimini top, and whatever other crap I can think up. Nice to have something to tinker on.

I know what you mean. :cheers:
I fix 1 thing to find another problem but I'm not totally pissed about it (yet). But I would like some of these things to be optional not mandatory. Like Hydroturf or a stereo compared to the new cylinders and pistons, driveshaft, wear rings... that I had to do.

It's always more fun to work on the visible stuff for sure.

Nice ride!!!

How did you clean the boots of the start button to get them bright red and clean like that?

Congrats!
